Film Review: 'Fuel' Thinks Biodiesel Is Our Future
GoodCleanTech —
... Once upon a time, the documentary film was conceived as an objective means of documenting reality--not as impartial as reporting in The New York Times, perhaps, but clearly a similar beast. Michael Moore threw that idea out the window, using the film format as a way to tell a story...his story. First-time director Josh Tickell is a documentarian in the Moore tradition, as evidenced by his film "Fuel," which attempts to explain not the fuel industry but the emerging biodiesel market through his eyes. It's an intelligent, articulate, well-made film; it just happens ...

... The Sundance award-winning documentary “Fuel” is finally opening in theatres in Los Angeles. Unfortunately it will only be at two theaters (one in West Hollywood and the other in Santa Monica.) Why so few? Because distribution is a B@#%! and the money men need to know that the film will turn a profit if releases in theaters nationally (apparently winning at Sundance doesn’t earn the kind of confidence it use too.) The film will only be open for this week starting on Friday, February 13th thru the 20th. If FUEL can get 4,000 Angelenos to go ...

Biodiesel That Conquers the Cold?
Green Inc. —
... . The use of biodiesel for transportation and heating is still relatively small – the industry’s goal is 5 percent penetration by 2015.

Josh Tickell, who helped popularize biodiesel by piloting a Winnebago across the country on fuel made from waste cooking oil, described gelling as one of biodiesel’s biggest hurdles. “If the U.S. wants to continue to use soybeans as a primary feedstock,” Mr. Tickell said, “this research is critical for ...

Two new documentaries—‘Crude’ and ‘Fuel’—examine two sides of our petroleum problem

And Fuel, which opened in New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. on Sept. 18, follows director Josh Tickell on his quest to convert the world to biofuels, ...
